I found another option called assembly.ai its less $ than google, does confidence scoring and supposedly has better diarization.

Can someone get my a single call recording file? So I can run some tests? Let me know when you get the google stuff.

Wow assembly AI kicks butt -- i am exporting it into a json format. I think we should just stick with this. Google is a pain with their silly json credentials and adding projects etc etc.

On Thursday August 7, 2025 and Friday August 8, 2025 I have to work from home. Johns pre-school isn't having classes those days right before the school year begins. Nina can't stay home. I have no choice but to stay.

We are trying to figure out which emails didn't send to the law firm but the list you provided had some that were sent to the firm but it was probably because you didn't have their specific emails to filter out so that is what I was providing

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-07-29 14:56:18

Add those emails in and we are trying to look through more to give you more examples
